Questions to Staff / Applicant: Vice Chair Prud’homme-Bauer asked if it would possible to ask the applicant not to use incandescent light bulbs. GIS/Planner II Espolt stated that he had talked to the applicant and they would not be using incandescent light bulbs. He also indicated that four years ago, the applicant was approved for four gooseneck lights but they were never installed so the project was brought back to Design Review Board with eight lights proposed. He also stated the applicant did receive a letter of approval from the property owner. Vice Chair Prud’homme-Bauer asked if the color of the fixture in the picture was the actual color and GIS/Planner II Espolt stated that it was. Board Member Midkiff pointed out that even a 60 watt incandescent light is pretty dim.

Chair Jones asked to see the monument sign and GIS/Planner II Espolt pointed out the applicant had added a thick black line that was suggested to separate the two signs. Vice Chair Prud’homme-Bauer asked if the applicant was going to do anything with the base of the sign such as painting it because it looked like it could use a new coat of paint. Board Member Midkiff asked if the sign was the same color as the building. Vice Chair Prud’homme-Bauer stated even if the base has to be the same color of the building, it could use some sprucing up but other than that the sign and colors looked fine. She also stated the arrow was a great choice so customers know where to find the reJuice location. She suggested fencing be installed to shield the waste receptacle near the reJuice food truck to ensure the ambiance of the facility was not hindered by the view of the trash receptacle.

Public Comment: None
